WUT! how is that american musle an olds 455 V8 bb or dodge 318 sb or chev 454 bb is american muslce not a 3 liter v6

1) its mad small
2) 3.0 lol how is that muscle? how bout 455 cubic inches = 7.8 liters and stroke it out to a 493 and 8.0

sound comes from the power (displacement of air) now giving urself a bigger exhaust to make ur engine sound bigger then it is is going to decrease backpressure. which could cause ur valves to float. it should be single exhaust pipe off the headers. ur best bet (if ur just doin the top end) is to lighten it up and use better durations on the cam then the stock one. or get a straigt 6

Oh dear, talk about a little knowledge ...
Stop living in the past, people have to work with what they've got and I don't think he'll be sticking a Tornado in the front of that thing - that is the combo' you mean, isn't it - 455CID and front wheel drive?

To the OP, have you checked out options for increasing displacement, otherwise it'll come down to breathing for torque and rpm for power.
